Disease Management / Wellness Programs

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma and BlueLincs HMO are dedicated to helping members with chronic conditions maintain a higher quality of life. This is done through a series of free programs designed to educate and empower members with diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 

Studies have shown that people who take part in disease management/wellness  programs have fewer medical complications, resulting in:

  • Fewer emergency room visits
  • Fewer urgent doctor visits
  • Fewer days missed at work or other activities
  • More of the recommended screenings and lifestyle changes

Better health means lower medical costs for members. 

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma works to identify members with chronic conditions as early as possible. Early identification allows our case managers to help members learn good self-care habits and the importance of regular medical care.

Components of disease management/wellness programs can include:

  • Personal contact with a nurse case manager
  • Coordination with member's physician
  • Educational materials

For information on any of the disease management/wellness programs, e-mail Elaine Olzawski or phone her at (918) 551-3008.

Important note: The disease management/wellness programs are not available for all self-funded groups. Check with your employer for more details.
